GV Hotel is a Filipino chain hotel that, in Masbate, delivered on its promise of a decent, clean and basic accomodation. Sadly, the area is run down, but church, the arena and the port area for boat or bus connections to other points in the Philippines can be reached easily on foot. The hotel also sees tonnes of trikes so going elsewhere within the city is easy. A brand new fast-food chain restaurant is on the corner across from a landmark church. High speed catamaran service links Masbate with Mainland Luzon. Lots of commuters.
